500 Nitro

Tober has had a couple let go, full length and these were on 308 full bore target barrels and the steel was established as the culprit.

MAB had quite a few let go and again on range rifles. In fact MAB barrels were barred from the ranges. In the MAB case there appears to have been some manufacturing contributing factors as well as steel and a whole batch of barrels have been recalled.

Of course there may have been some that were not range rifles but not being groups of people it might not have been known.

There is no secret about it so I was quite happy to post.

It may well have been range rilfes because they make so many of them and perhaps used one batch of steel for the lot. They are also typically undersize at .3065 because that his how the 144 grain boat tail shoots best.

But actions did not split in half as in the Sakos. The ast Sako to be shown has had the action full split in two from one end to the other, in other words, it is two separate pieces.

An interesting sideline is that from what I understand the recalls of the Sakos and Tikkas in Australia will require Permits to Aquire for the new rifles and Berettas handling of it in Ausralia seems to be as bad as in America.
